Default CD Changer for 99 SL500

I have a base model. No Sport Pkg or Value Pkg. Bose system with Amp in cubby behind the seat.
Looking for the trunk mounted CD changer. Dealer wants $764.00 plus install..

Question is this system Fiber Optic or straight plug interface? Any quick way to tell before I order?
Any MB part number?

Found one at:
SoundGate.com

Any help would be appreciated...Thanks

quite certain that your year/model uses the D2B fiber compliant system. easy to verify if you go into your trunk and lift the liner (whichever side is usually used to mount the changer) . i you car is US issue, then you will see bright orange fiber harness there. DO NOT KINK this cable. it'll cost you hundreds$ to replace/repair. backpedeling: S models may be a little diff than E and C models for some reason...and may use different audio units not shared by others of same model year.

lord knows we can do better than using Ebay to verify but i'm lazy tonight...here is auction with compatibility chart
